Former Boston Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon, who was with the team from 2005-11, said Saturday that he and numerous other Red Sox players were regularly injected with Toradol, a legal anti-inflammatory drug whose use has become increasingly controversial in sports. Papelbon became the Philadelphia Phillies closer last season. When he signed with the Phillies, he was told he would have to stop using the drug.
